Set the air conditioner to 26-27 degrees Celsius.
Normally, we set the air conditioner to around 20-24 degrees Celsius. During this hot weather, it may be unavoidable to run the air conditioner for a long time due to the hot air. However, if you set the air conditioner to 26-27 degrees, you can save up to 10% on electricity.
Choose energy-efficient appliances.
Choosing energy-efficient appliances is crucial. Look for appliances with a 5-star energy label. They perform the same function as regular appliances but use less power.
Use fans instead of air conditioning.
If the weather is not extremely hot, try using fans instead of air conditioning. Fans use only 1/60 of the power of air conditioning units, so they can save a lot of electricity. Ceiling fans, in particular, can distribute air or coolness more efficiently.
Use LED light bulbs.
LED light bulbs provide brighter light and save more electricity than regular light bulbs. They also have a longer lifespan and are environmentally friendly.
Install curtains to block sunlight.
Sunlight entering the house is a major factor in raising the temperature inside. It is recommended to install UV-blocking curtains or blinds to prevent direct sunlight from entering the room, which helps the air conditioner work less and saves electricity.
Shower with normal temperature water.
Showering with normal temperature water instead of using hot water is another way to reduce electricity consumption. It also provides a refreshing feeling. However, if you prefer hot showers, remember to turn off the water heater switch immediately after use.
